The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 337 Divorce Xiao Shubai?

Tang felt like she was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off, because Ye Wenyan told her that since she had already participated in this matter, there was no reason for her to withdraw halfway. Otherwise, she would not be at ease, and neither would the old lady. She also asked her, if both sides were worried, could her aunt return to Xiushan County safely?

I can't go back safely, and even if I go back, I can't sleep well.

Tang had no choice but to agree to Ye Wenyan's request and planned to go to the old lady every day to get advice. Fortunately, Ye Wenyan also promised her that as long as she did a good job, she would be responsible for saving her life.

At Fuluyuan, Nanny Ji started to pour medicine for the old lady again. But just like Ye Wenyan said, minor illnesses and disasters can be cured even without taking medicine, it's just a matter of speed. So the old lady will get better sooner or later, just like the younger Jun Tao, who was able to walk around this evening and come to her room to pay her respects.

Unfortunately, even though she was paying her respects, Jun Tao could not go forward because of Nanny Ji and Ye Qingmei who came to take care of the patient.

Not only Jun Tao couldn't go forward, but Xiao who came to visit couldn't go forward either.

Xiao was not surprised. This was not the first time she was stopped. Fortunately, she could still see the old lady from a distance and hear her speak, which made her feel a little relieved. At least the old lady was not dead, which meant that Ye Wenyan did not have enough evidence and did not want to kill her.

But even so, Xiao was still panicking, because she knew that Ye Wenyan would gather all the evidence sooner or later, and would solve all the problems that needed to be solved sooner or later. After solving one problem, it would be the next one, and it would soon be her turn.

On the way back to Huayu Courtyard, Jinxiu whispered, "The old lady thought she did it secretly, but in fact she only hid it from the eldest wife's family. We all know it. Speaking of which, with all the precautions in the old lady's courtyard, she actually dared to do such a big deal. How brave is she?" Xiao said, "It should be said that this is a huge hatred! After decades of marriage, it ended up like this. The old lady must have a reason to do it. If I'm not wrong, Ye Wenyan is waiting for this reason."

Jinxiu frowned, "Madam, do you think Jun Tao knows the truth?"

Xiao thought for a while and shook her head, "She should know that the old lady killed people, but she doesn't know why the old lady killed people."

"Can the old lady really hide something so thoroughly?"

"That depends on what it is." Xiao said, "If it wasn't a matter of great importance, she wouldn't have told anyone. And I always feel that this matter is related to the master."

"Madam, do you mean the deceased master?"

"Yes." Xiao nodded. "The two must be related, otherwise the old lady would not know that we had attacked the old lady, but still remain indifferent. In this general's mansion, I have my spies, and she has hers. Each of us is watching each other, so there is really nothing that can be hidden. What on earth could make her watch one son kill another son? What on earth made her want to kill both her eldest son and her husband?"

Xiao was confused, and she couldn't figure out what was going on. But Jinxiu gave her an idea: "In fact, it might not be that the old lady was hiding something from the world. What if that happened before the lady came in? Then you definitely didn't know about it!"

Xiao suddenly realized that this explanation made sense.

When it got dark, Ye Jingsheng went to Xichun as usual. Now he thought that it was a good thing that he had taken Xichun as his concubine, otherwise he would have had a hard time in this mansion. He had even forgotten how Xichun had threatened him to enter his room. Now he only thought that Xichun was the only one in the family who would speak softly to him and care about him wholeheartedly.

Although Liu was also a docile person, that was in the past. Now Liu had changed her mind and became like the daughter she gave birth to. She was treacherous and devoted to the eldest wife. He really wanted to kick the mother and daughter out of the East Courtyard, but now that he had few children, he really couldn't do it.

Xichun's maid Pingshuang brought ginseng soup into the room. Xichun went outside to take the soup and waved her hand to send Pingshuang away.

She always remembered how Liu entered the room. A maid who combed hair could win the master's favor. In addition, she herself was also a maid, which showed that her master had a connection with maids. So she had to be on guard at all times and never let the maids around her take advantage of her and take away her favor.

Seeing Xichun bring in the ginseng soup, Ye Jingsheng drank it happily, then frowned after finishing it: "This soup is a bit bland today, it tastes like chicken, did you put ginseng in it?"

Xichun said, "Of course they did, it's just a matter of how much. The Second Madam said that the government account is short of money, and the expenses of the people in the mansion have to be reduced. Not only has the ginseng chicken soup been reduced, but even half of the dishes for the three meals a day have been reduced."

Ye Jingsheng frowned when he heard this: "The eldest wife has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and I have never heard that there is a shortage of money in the account, let alone that she wants to find this shortage through her mouth. What's wrong with Xiao Shubai? She has only been in charge of this family for a few days, and such a thing has happened?"

Xichun sighed after hearing this, "It's not entirely the Second Madam's fault. In fact, there was not enough money on the books before. First, the old lady kept helping the Jiang family, and second, the old general and the great general were honest officials and never allowed anyone to take ill-gotten gains. If the family only ate salaries and money from farms and shops, how could they support such a large expenditure? The reason why we lived comfortably in the past was because the first lady kept giving money to us. Not only did she give money from her own shops, but she also gave her dowry."

Ye Jingsheng was unhappy to hear this, "Why are you speaking for the eldest wife now?"

Xichun quickly explained: "Master, you have misunderstood me. I am not speaking for the first wife. What I mean is that the first wife was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the overall situation. Why is it that the second wife is unwilling to do so now that she is the mistress? The Xiao family is richer than the Mu family! Moreover, the Mu family has rarely shown up in recent years, but the Xiao family has frequent exchanges with the general's mansion. I believe that Madam Xiao has also helped the second wife privately. Well, it's okay to ignore the public, after all, we can't let the first wife enjoy the benefits with us. But at least the amount of ginseng soup given to the master should be enough, but I didn't expect it to be like this... The second wife is really stingy."

The more Ye Jingsheng listened, the angrier he got. Xiao Shubai was no longer in a good mood. He had a falling out with the old lady that day, so was he going to have a falling out with him too?

He stood up and was about to go talk to Xiao Shubai. At this time, the voice of the maid Ping Shuang came from the door, saying, "Second Master, Aunt Chun, Sister Jinxiu from the Second Madam's side is here. She wants you to go to Huayu Courtyard immediately. There is something important to discuss."

Xichun looked unhappy, "How can a mistress behave like this? The master has already entered the concubine's room, but she still wants to invite him over. She is trying to win favor to this extent, isn't she afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"

Ye Jingsheng comforted her: "Don't be angry, I will be back soon, and I will go to ask her for an explanation to see if she can still be the mistress of the family. If she can't be the mistress, she should make room as soon as possible, and don't occupy the position of mistress without doing the mistress's work."

After saying that, he took a big step and left. Xichun was left alone in the room to think about what he had just said. If he couldn't be the boss, he should make room for him as soon as possible. Who should he make room for? Now, besides the second wife, there were only her and Liu around the master. However, Liu's mother and daughter had obviously leaned towards Ye Wenyan recently, so they would definitely be excluded. Then she was the only one left...

Xichun was a little excited. Was she going to start running the household? Was she going to become the mistress of the general's mansion with actual power?

Ye Jingsheng was also thinking about the same question, but the candidate in his mind could not be Xichun, nor could it be anyone in the general's mansion. From the beginning to the end, there was only one candidate for the mistress in his mind, and that was Chang Xueqiao.

He didn't dare to quarrel with Xiao Shi before, because he felt that he was the second son, and he had no chance to make a name for himself, and his family had to rely on Xiao Shi to support them. In addition, Xiao Shi carefully cultivated Ye Hongzhuang, and made a big promise to him that Ye Hongzhuang could become the queen in the future, which made him afraid to bring Chang Xueqiao and her daughter back, for fear of angering Xiao Shi and making all this a dream.

But now Ye Hongzhuang's dream is broken, he is already the head of the Ye family, Xiao Shubai and the Xiao family are no longer of any use to him. He even thinks that Xiao Shubai is a burden and a person who brings him bad luck.

Otherwise, why didn't Xiao Shubai have two children? Just for this reason, he could ask the Xiao family to divorce his wife.

Yes, divorce! Only by divorcing Xiao Shubai can his Xue Qiao go home and truly live with him.

At that time, he would hand over the family to Xue Qiao, and the couple would cultivate Wushuang. Just based on Wushuang's appearance, he would definitely have a bright future, and his future depended on Wushuang.

The more Ye Jingsheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He took bigger steps and looked as if he was eager to see the second wife.

Finally they arrived at Huayu Courtyard. Xiao ordered Jinxiu to leave, leaving only her and Ye Jingsheng in the room. Ye Jingsheng was a little impatient: "What on earth do you want me to do? Xiao Shubai, you are the mistress, and it is not your place to be jealous of concubines and compete for favors. If it gets out, it will make you lose face and people will laugh at you."

Xiao frowned when she heard this. "I'm not trying to win favor. You can go wherever you want. I don't care. It's just that I went to Fuluyuan to pay my respects these two days and saw some things that I want to talk to you about."

Ye Jingsheng sat down. "I went to see my mother once, and there was a doctor there. He said it was nothing serious, and she just needed to lie on the bed for a few days and take medicine and she would be fine. What did you see?"

Xiao also sat down, sitting opposite him, and told him seriously: "I saw the fourth lady ask someone to pour all the boiled medicine under the big tree. She did it openly and without any reservations."

"What?" Ye Jingsheng was startled, and had a bad feeling...
